Thanks I shall continue with my search and will read all of the electrical info I have found via this forum - manuals etc For my sins I cannot let a machine beat me - so I will do what is needed to learn. I might buy a professional tool ( one with great manual and web back up) and just put...

Thanks. I am a fully qualified diesel mechanic with 35 years of experience on nearly everything using a diesel engine BUT I do not know what the information this tool is telling me. I can fault find rebuild most engines from single cylinders to V16 (4000HP) Same goes with transmissions. I just...

Thanks for reply. I do have problems with the driving. The problem with the drive is again something I do not yet know - I put a separate thread on this. I THINK? the torque converter is slipping? The reason for this is - the transmission wont change up from 3 when going up a relatively small...

HI, If the wheel speeds are correct ( which I do not think is correct) then the diffs would take care of that?

HI, I looked at my pics / pdf of screen shots - its the transfere box readings. So my guess is the 318 deg is the position of the potentiometer and not degree Centigrade.!!! So what does it mean? If this is faulty does that make me think the torque converter / transmission is slipping / faulty...

HI, The Icarsoft tool is telling me that ? But is it correct? Brakes work fine No ABS / traction control kicking in. Maybe a sensor fault? Thats the information I am wanting to find out ? Thanks for reply.

Hi, The two readings The two original readings - these are all I have that I can give you. They are the readings from the Icarsoft screen - the screen showed 4 readings - Shift solenoid 2 - off Shift solenoid 3 - off Throttle Valve 37.66% Torque converter Clutch - 74.15% I do not know what...

Its done 138K Miles. Good advice again. Will read up all things about cheap / easy fixes carried out by others. Oil change first Thanks

Thanks for reply. I was lucky I had someone to drive whilst I just sat and read info etc. I wondered if there was a way to store info on to a computer? I just took photos of all screens shots then download as PDF to read later. Maybe thats a good idea for others? Glad you agree about the manual...

Great - i checked the tyre pressures after you replied - one of them down to 21PSI. Will check tyres and fill to correct pressures tommorow. Thank you. another bit of useful info to store.

Thank you. You are totally correct - i was defaulting to new transmission !!! I will do an oil / fiter change and use the best oil recommended and report back.Thanks for positive thoughts and ideas.

HI David, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping not to get this but I sort of know thats what I need to do. Once I do it I will post back results and any other info I find. Best regards

Have you got one of these? If so did you get a manual that actually tells you anything? I go a manual that tells me nothing other than basics. I am reading up on my model all the time. I thought this forum was perhaps an easier way to to get through a lot of information that others that have...

Helpful!!

HI, Looks like I may have bought a lemon. Seems to be the transmission failing. I have read loads of info and understand most of it but I do have one question. Symptoms - Very slow to change up the gears going uphill? Engine good and running well, no brakes stuck on etc. Hills not to steep...

Hi, I used my new Icarsoft diagnostic tool today and it gave me lots of live information such as Torque converter clutch 0% then 74.15% with Throttle valve 37.66% . All reads good information to have but how do I find out what it all means? Two things that worried me was the different speeds...

Damn!!

I hate to ask - because if i am wrong then you are even drier than me - but you do know my reply was dry and not actual?

I find your comments about freelanders insulting, everyone deserves a right to make their own choices in life - even freelander owners

Go on - say something?
